You Don't Even Know It

I found the one thing I needed

(A heart?)

A friend

A dog

I don't know how

But he's mine now

And no one can take him from me

He's friendly

He's too dumb to realize that I'm not normal

He doesn't know that I'm crazy

That I spend hours writing in a stupid book

That I've spent what feels like years wandering

Trying to find a way out

A way out of this hell

He's here now and everything will be fine

I don't have a name for him yet

I know that's what normal people do

They name their animals

They become attached to an animal

I just don't know how to do that

(You're a stupid wounded dog)

I feel like the voice in my head is no longer sinister

The voice in my head isn't even crazy

It's just human

Something I'll never be

This dog is more human than I am

I think these woods have changed me

They've made me better

Stronger

Smarter

(I hate you, I hate you and your stupid life)
